Fully agree with you: #Librem5 and #Pinephone actually help each other and we need both to fight with the walled gardens of #Android and #iOS:
However I often see people saying that they have almost the same specs: same CPU and same amount of RAM.
So i wanted to see if developing new system modal dialogs for #phosh becomes simpler (and less code) with the recent changes so i took a stab at the EndSessionDIalog:
#Convergence aka #Desktop mode works fine on both #smartphones for light tasks. But what is "light"? This is where they differ.
#Librem5 (left) smoothly plays two videos simultaneously (one of which is 60 fps), whereas #Pinephone is struggling with single 30 fps video.
Why? Librem 5 has 30% faster CPU clock speed, 140% faster RAM standard, roughly double the GPU performance. More details: https://forums.puri.sm/t/comparing-specs-of-upcoming-linux-phones.

#Convergence works fine on both #phones with original Pinephone USB-C Docking Bar.
#Librem5 (left) and #Pinephone (right) are usable as #Desktop computers for light tasks.
#Firefox is the desktop version with all #plugins you want.
Can your #smartphone do this?
@corbeaucrypto I don't complain ;)
if you only want to disable that for the on screen keyaboard you can use
gsettings set org.sigxcpu.feedbackd.application:/org/sigxcpu/feedbackd/application/sm-puri-squeekboard/ profile silent

So I spent the last few hours on taking pictures of cats with the rear camera of my Librem 5. Yep, that's my job now. #librem5 #gnu #linux #mobile #cat #caturday
All credit for the camera support goes to Dorota, Martin and Angus: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/linux-next/-/issues/44#note_148408 @merge @purism
If flatpaks ask #geoclue for location service access #phosh can now handle that as a #geoclue agent (which became useful after fixing that for recent kernels using cgroupv2 (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue/geoclue/-/merge_requests/81):
Can Librem 5 run Flutter linux desktop apps? Yep! I was able to successfully build and run my BodySculpting weightlifting workout app today on Librem 5 itself. Code once, build for Android, iOS, and Libremt5, how cool is that!
#Librem5vsPinephone
Maximal and minimal #brightness of the #smartphones. #Librem5 beats #Pinephone at both. Also the Pinephone screen colors look colder in comparison. Librem 5 screen looks more pleasant to my eye.
@dubstar_04 You can see snap-to-edge in action here: https://social.librem.one/@dos/105393232099321308
phoc 0.7.0 has just been released!
This version includes mouse based snap-to-edge for tiling and maximizing; window move & resize fixes for touchscreens; and **big** stability improvements - I haven't seen it crashing a single time for a while now :)

@emil @ozmik @BrianA When I'm playing with other distros, I usually put the image on a SD card, copy kernel modules into its rootfs and then boot the PureOS kernel with `root` parameter pointing to the SD card partition. Then the usual things to do is checking whether mesa is compiled with etnaviv/mxsfb support, adding PulseAudio & ALSA UCM configs, removing PinePhone specific modem daemons etc.
@ozmik @BrianA Yeah, in my experience taking a distro for one of those devices and making it run on the other is usually trivial. So far the only issue I couldn't resolve myself in 30 minutes while playing with various OSes was Lomiri not liking etnaviv resulting in completely garbled screen output (which smells like a bug in Lomiri/Mir)
